Jane.â
Jane smiled. âIt really was the children, not me. They just wouldnât give up. I told them they took after you.â
Violet said shyly, âThere is no better person to take after.â
One by one they went over to their grandfather and kissed him. Even Henry forgot about trying to be grown-up and kissed his grandfather.
Jessie looked at the necklace in the portrait and said, âI think it is sparkling more now than any other time.â
âThatâs because itâs Grandfatherâs birthday,â Benny said.
âI think heâs right,â Mrs. Newton said.
They all laughed and turned to Grandfather who was looking at his wifeâs portrait with love. âThank you, all,â he said.
About the Author
G ERTRUDE C HANDLER W ARNER discovered when she was teaching that many readers who like an exciting story could find no books that were both easy and fun to read. She decided to try to meet this need, and her first book, The Boxcar Children , quickly proved she had succeeded.
Miss Warner drew on her own experiences to write each mystery. As a child she spent hours watching trains go by on the tracks opposite her family home. She often dreamed about what it would be like to set up housekeeping in a caboose or freight car â the situation the Alden children find themselves in.
When Miss Warner received requests for more adventures involving Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, she began additional stories. In each, she chose a special setting and introduced unusual or eccentric characters who liked the unpredictable.
While the mystery element is central to each of Miss Warnerâs books, she never thought of them as strictly juvenile mysteries. She liked to stress the Aldensâ independence and resourcefulness and their solid New England devotion to using up and making do. The Aldens go about most of their adventures with as little adult supervision as possible â something else that delights young readers.
Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Connecticut, until her death in 1979. During her lifetime, she received hundreds of letters from girls and boys telling her how much they liked her books.
